I”m so excited to say that this gorgeous shoot is being featured on Magnolia Rouge today. I’ve been dreaming of this day since I started photographing weddings and so glad the day has come that I get to be among some of my idols. Please go check out their blog post HERE and give it some love.

I had the pleasure of photographing Braden and Tiffany’s beautiful classic wedding at Cactus & Tropicals this past September. Not only was this day beautiful but the father daughter dance had me and everyone else that attended tearing up. Here are a few of my favorites from the day.

When you get the most down to earth and genuine clients, it's almost impossible to take a bad picture of these two. Semisi and Kelsey drove down from Salt Lake to get their bridal portraits taken in the desert outside of Beaver Dam Arizona. This Joshua tree location has a perfect aesthetic for some pre wedding day portraits and when your couple is this gorgeous I mean WOW! If you are every looking for a stunning location but still keeps focus on you and your fiancé I highly recommend shooting here for you engagement or formal session.

A desert elopement with dreamy florals and a Carol Hannah dress will always have my heart. This wedding inspiration hosted by SOPHIE KAYE PHOTOGRAPHY and JULIAN N PHOTOGRAPHY was breathtaking to photograph and I couldn't have been more thrilled with the end results. The entire day was perfect from the very start. It was raining all day before we arrived at the location and then the clouds parted and it was like we were meant to capture this gorgeous day. Vegas is an amazing place to elope and I hope this inspires future brides and grooms with their special day.

I'm so excited to share this amazing colorful shoot with you guys that is being featured on Green Wedding Shoes blog today. If you are looking to elope in Vegas what perfect way of celebrating your love then an adventure filled with adrenaline running through your veins, and eloping to a gorgeous landscape with an epic colorful view.

This concept was inspired by the Seven Magic Mountains just south of the Strip on your way out to California. Some people driving past may have wondered what these were or may have even pulled over to checked them out for themselves. The artist Ugo Rondinone truly knows how to make a state piece fitting perfectly into the Vegas wow factor. We wanted to play off his colorful large-scale design, where the location is physically and symbolically mid-way between the natural and the artificial.

These rocks plays dramatically in this desert setting, and with such a bold design we didn't want to take away from the artist but still wanted our couple to be the main center of interest. We decide to use one color as our main focus by adding in the pink hues in the bouquet, earrings, and cake. This tied everything together while leaving the couple and rocks the center. We are loving the end result for a couple who wants to have a simple yet electric elopement in Vegas.

Fields of lavender never get old in my opinion. I feel that every girl has dreamed of running through a field full of flowers once in their lives, am I right? And what better way to do that then in a wedding dress created by Carol Hannah. When coming up with the concept of the shoot I wanted to incorporate that classic traditional feel with a more up to date modern ascetic. Infusing these two styles can be a little tricky without going over board on one side or the other. The more traditional traits from the tear drop shaped wedding ring, the white and gold foiled cake, to the invitations suite reminisces of a more romantic era. While The Potted Pansy uses her unique floral designs, adding texture and different tones of purple to bridged the two designs together. All the vendors came together to make this lavender shoot at the Young Living Farm blend and fuse the Pantone color of the year together perfectly.

So excited to have Utah Valley Bride feature this black wedding inspiration over on their blog today. Here is some little details about the shoot and some of the inspirations behind the design of this incredible shoot.

Even though the white space of the venue offers a naturally clean and minimalist design, we wanted to take a step in the other direction and show off how well black can make for a polished design. The color plays dramatically in this setting, but I'm love the sophisticated non-traditional steps we took to make it all come together.

When you choose a dark color as the focal point of your wedding, adding textures and little pops of color such as gold and mauve will make sure everything doesn't get lost. Fresh flowers are a must and they bring life to the shoot. By not going with the typical dark purple or red it gives more of an organic feel and a blast right back into the design.

Natural elements like the inky charred wood and touches of gold on the table give the wedding a refined look. By adding in candles and the different colored roses to the centerpiece offers a softness and romance.

Let's start off the New Year with this gorgeous shoot that I had the pleasure of setting up for tons of photographers in our community this last month. When I was setting up this shoot I wanted it to be friendly for all levels of photographers that were going to attend so When Two I do & Bliss Wedding and Rentals get together they create some magical setups! When looking for a model I had the perfect couple in mind, Nik and Riley. I had the pleasure of taking this gorgeous couples engagements pictures this past summer and knew they would be the perfect fit for this shoot! I'm so happy with how all these turned out and loved seeing a community come together where we help each other grow! Here is to the New Year and growing our businesses and becoming better as a whole.

I can spend days talking about how AMAZING Taylor and Megan are, like how honest, genuine, loving, kindhearted this beautiful couple is! In the short time that I had with them you can tell they were perfect for each other! I hope you can see the true love between these two through these photos and see how much everyone loves them!

This wedding was taking at the Salt Lake Temple and then headed to the reception at gorgeous Cactus and Tropicals where Waffle Love catered, everyone dancing the night away, and ending in some delicious smores with the perfect sparkler exit.
